Hey Alex,
Yes our house was finished 2 months ago and we are living in it- very minor issues which we picked up upon PCI (I would recommend being extremely thorough…

Thanks for the tip! We will definitely take that on board and go through the house during PCI with a fine tooth comb and not pay the balance until we…

Hey there,
Yes we are currently building with Metro Property Development in SA and have had a really positive experience so far. Their communication is great- always keeping us in the…

haha I know! Just a simple letter in the mail would suffice- which they said they would do but still haven't. Classic Fairmont, they definitely keep you on your toes!
Just…

Awesome, iyeayo!! It is looking amazing- what a difference a frame makes hey!
Can't wait to see pics of the brickwoerk start!

Awesome news iyeayo! The framing part is so exciting to finally be able to picture what your house looks like! Can't wait to hear how it progresses.
We had our internal…

Waterproofing done yesterday, cornicing and skirting today...just hoping to hear a firmer completion date soon!
I hope everyone's houses have had some action too

Thankyou!

Yeah that's correct- they told me 2 weeks for flooring after PCI today but they're now saying another 3 weeks as well as the initial 2 to finish painting and…

Hi all,
Hoping someone who has a completed house with Fairmont could give me some help.
We have been told today that it is likely our house will be delayed by about…

Great news iyeayo!! Finally!

Hi chrisprw..
I am so glad you started this thread as I was just about to start a new active one too.
We are in the EXACT position as you. Frame up,…

Fairmont seem to have a shortage of many trades lately, it seems (brickies, tilers, painters)!
ST13 hopefully you're not waiting too long until something happens. Once the bricks start you will…

Oh yes it is very pitiful indeed. Two years- that is absurd. I really feel for you. We signed July 2013 and they only started work in May 2014 (again…

You're building with Fairmont too I take it feroshious?
Very interesting re the ad....hoping they found people to pick up the work...within this week alone we had our insulation completed, all…

Haha its ok Tasha I totally got what you meant in your initial comment regarding the build, but as you said this is a thread for people building with/ have…

I concur iyeayo; as a first time builder Fairmont was good value for money, it offered some great "free added extras" that we wanted, and as this was also our…

Sorry you felt you had to defend your build deluxes, however no one was attacking you nor naming names about any other builder but Fairmont (as we are all building…

Two months after?! Ahhh....gosh. Seems it's the total norm! I have zero hope in being in before Christmas as much as they insist it will be done then. I just…

I hope you're right ! Even though it meant yours plateaued for a while at that stage.
I hear very good things about the…

Oh the Christmas break wouldn't have helped:( Fairmont seem to do a whole heap, then stop for weeks, then start up again- I guess it's just the nature of the…

That's great to hear Carmen1828 Seems like having one brickie do the job is the standard? You are also building with Fairmont I take it?
Hoping…

Oh yes FairmontSACustom....I definitely concur with the "them not caring" feeling. They don't have the best customer service at all. We loved our sales guy, and I've dealt with a…

Good point ST13- we are only contemplating it for noise reduction, but we have upgraded a lot already (have to watch costs!) and as this house will likely become a…

Yeah, this house will eventually become our investment after a few years too which is why we are contemplating not bothering with internal insulation..if we did we would do something…

Yes I imagine they would have had a lot of people sign on in nov/dec 2013 due to the building grants ending!
Iyeayo- I couldn't agree more. Why they are still…
